Like it or not, we all have our limits. But this world seems to want to make us feel guilty for not constantly trying to outdo ourselves—we're made to feel like failures if we're not always becoming more efficient, more optimized, more “together” versions of ourselves. To put it frankly, this sucks. Author and previous guest Oliver Burkeman has written a book on how the pursuit of optimization just drives us further away from the core of happiness: embracing ourselves as we truly are. This week, Adam and Oliver talk about how to relieve the pressures that society puts on us and how to find peace and freedom in self-acceptance.

I could sit for hours and read. Is that moving the needle forward anything that I do? It might be filling my cup, but it's not moving my business forward. So it's also recognizing it might not be Doom scrolling social media. It might not be binge watching Netflix, it may be like, Oh, I should probably read for 30 minutes rather than two hours.Lesley Logan 0:26 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:05 All right, Be It babe, this one is totally for you. This is for my high-achieving women. This isn't for my women who have lots of things that they're wanting to do and struggling to find the systems to do it. This is for you. If you just want to, like, get a reminder of how to understand who you are, what you want, and how to get there. I'm so excited. Our guest is Dr Corey Winn, dear friend of mine, I've been on her amazing podcast. She's so smart, succinct. I mean, we could have talked for hours, but I also loved how she can get all the great information out in a way that you can use it, understand it, apply it. And I think you're really gonna love this. So here is Dr. Corey Winn. Lesley Logan 1:42 All right, Be It babe, I'm super excited today, because I had the most fun being on today's guest podcast, and we had such a great conversation. I was like, oh, we should just keep talking. So you should just come on over to my podcast. So, Corey Winn, thanks for being here. Can you tell everyone who you are and why you rock so much?Dr Corey Winn 1:58 Yes, I love it. So talking about being it I am, Dr Corey Winn, it took me a very long time to own that, but I am a physical therapist for the past 15 years, and I also have a women's coaching and consulting practice, working with women, building their businesses and leaving legacy as female entrepreneurs. So it's been an incredible journey and road, and here we are. Lesley Logan 2:22 Oh my gosh, yes. And also like, so wait a minute, are you like? Are you still doing physical therapy and you're doing all this stuff?Dr Corey Winn 2:30 I am. I have two very beautiful, but very different lanes, so I specialize in wheelchair seating and mobility. My uncle had a spinal cord injury, so I have a nonprofit that serves that population, and then I have my women's coaching and consulting practice, because I love female entrepreneurs. I'm never bored.Lesley Logan 2:50 That's that's true. And also, like, such different I like to go on lanes because, like, they are such different lanes. Okay, so, like, which came first? Was it the the doctor part, or the coaching part?Dr Corey Winn 3:00 Definitely the doctor part. So I've been a PT for 15 years, doctor of physical therapy. I actually tore my ACL in dance class, surprisingly enough, in high school, and decided I was going to go the PT route. So originally, I wanted to work with ABT or with women's basketball players, because I worked women's basketball in college, and then I found the life of neuro which really didn't surprise me, like I said, my uncle had a spinal cord injury, so I was around him and all of his wheelchairs my entire life, and really just began to love that realm of PT and focus really heavily in outpatient with Parkinson's disease. So that was that lane. But as many women and moms, the typical nine to five or eight to six and weekends and holidays really wasn't working, so pivoted and started my own coaching practice. And I still, like I said, I do PT, but I've worked my schedule around my kiddo in my life, so it's been really fun.Lesley Logan 3:59 That's so good. I love that. I love that well, also, like, we live in a different world now where I think, like, people are kind of used to that. And I always found, like, why is it? Why is everything like nine to five? How do people who are working nine to five get to anywhere? Like, why aren't there people who are like, oh, actually, we're like a, we're like, a 12 to seven kind of place, you know, like, what happened? So I think it's so cool that you get to do that. Okay, so, like, take us back, because, like, it's easy for us to go, like, look at you now, where you have, like, their two lanes, and they're distinct lanes, and they work around your schedule. But like, what was the middle like? What was it like trying to figure out like, I mean, you know, because I know a lot of people will listen to go they're doing something, but they're having this call to another thing. There's fear there. There's a lot of overwhelm. Also, it's not like the easiest thing you just go this is in this compartment, like there's a blend that has happening.Dr Corey Winn 4:48 Oh my gosh, I love that. Well, honestly, the first kind of nudge my daughter was six months old, and as I was getting ready for work one of the many mornings, she crawled across the bathroom floor for. First time. And I was like, oh my gosh, I'm so excited. Couldn't wait to tell her teacher at daycare dropped her off like you'll never guess what she did this morning. And I told her, and she looked at me, just dead panned, and said she did that yesterday, and walked away. And I looked at her, and I said, can you please not tell me those things? And she looked at me just very shocked, and I said, I already know I'm missing so much. Just let me believe. I don't need you to lie. Just let me believe that I thought. Lesley Logan 5:30 Or at the very least they should have told you that she did crawl like they're when you picked her up. Hey, she crawled today. Did you know she does that? Like, agree, since they missed out. They should just been like, oh my god, look at her. Like they should just kept it to themselves. There are white lies for a reason. Dr Corey Winn 5:46 Right. Yeah, same, Yep, absolutely. And I was just so crushed because I was like, oh my gosh, that is just blatantly obvious how much I'm missing. And so then it was like, well, what do I do? I was going to be in this lane. I was going to do this until I retired. I went to school for a long time. What do I do now? This doesn't work with my life. I'd love to say, oh, I pivoted and it was beautiful after that. No, I was scared to death, so I just said, okay, well, I can work, you know, less hours, that's where it started. But then fast forward, years later, I actually started as a health coach, more for my own health than anything else, but as I was coaching these women, I was realizing the issue isn't the program or the nutrition or the exercise plan or the whatever like those things are inherently easy to follow. Most women I work with are very high-achieving. They know how to check boxes. They know how to follow a plan. They can manage all the things, but if they didn't feel worthy of taking care of themselves, it didn't matter. So that was where I really pivoted and said, no, I'm working with women who are badasses, who are going for things and not settling for anything less. Yes, at one point they were burned out. Yes, at one point they were stressed, but now they've said, no, I've had this view, or I've had this product, or I've had this idea that I wanted to do with forever. I'm going for it. So that's how I ended up coaching.Lesley Logan 7:13 Yeah, I think there's like, always, like, a little thank you for taking us on the journey. Because, like, it's not like, you just like, land on the next thing. Like, most of us have little detours along the way, or or building blocks, or going like, oh, I think this is a thing. But it's like, wait a minute, this, this is not their problem. And also, with the way the world is going today, like, anyone can just download a health thing, and also most people, unfortunately, are just going to just get shot. So it's like, okay, great. But then now that you've done that, like, what's the actual root issue of the thing. So can you describe, like, how? Because I imagine, like, I imagine the way you're coaching them is also like, going to be it till you see it kind of way. It's like, there's, there's got to be some sort of acting as if they're ready. So how does that look? What does that look like?Dr Corey Winn 7:59 Well, in so many women, and I'm sure you do this, you, all of us, every high-achieving woman I've ever worked with has questioned their value, questioned their worth, questioned their expertise. Who am I to do that, that, that stopped me for years. So it's one, getting huge clarity on what you want. So often, the women I work with, nobody's asked them what they want for years because they're married, they have kids, they have a job, they're holding all the things together, so it's what you want, and then embodying the thoughts, desires, the beliefs that that woman has, and then creating your life and making decisions along that line, not making decisions from fear.Lesley Logan 8:39 Well, but that's the hardest part, because like, to be honest, usually when you when you figure out their clarity, sometimes I think they know, but they don't want to admit it, because it means, often, like, letting go of something else. Like you had to, like, reduce hours somewhere. You had to, like, let go of the coaching thing. Like, it means almost like we feel that if we stop doing something else, that we're letting people down because they have expectations of us, and we are so used to meeting everyone's expectations and our own. So how does that work? Because, like, that's the hardest part. Dr Corey Winn 9:09 I think for me, it was being really honest with myself and figuring out what it was going to cost me to not do those things. And I don't remember exactly how old my daughter was, probably four or five, but I remember having this horrible sense of failure because my mom did all the things. She was carpool, she worked full time, she was home on the the teacher work days, all the things, and I remember thinking she did it all. Why does this feel so hard. Why can't I figure it out? Lesley Logan 9:43 I think it was hard for them, too. Dr Corey Winn 9:45 At some point, I was like, Corey, you don't have to do it all. And learning to receive help, ask for help. And on the other side of that, it was I want my daughter to know, and my bonus kiddos, who are grown now, they're doing their own thing, but I want them to know that they don't ever have to stay in their lane. They don't have to stay in the box that maybe somebody else made for them, and I don't want them to ever be too afraid to try. So hey, I've tried, I've pivoted, I've done things, and it wasn't always easy, but it was like, what is, what's going to be the cost of me staying here? Is it my sanity? Is it my soul? Is it my happiness? Is it my family?Lesley Logan 10:32 Yeah, I think that's I think that's tough. Like, you almost have to take a piece of paper out and get really clear, like, this is what I want, okay, what does it cost me to not do the thing. I mean, that's what people don't realize, and I don't I, you know, like, it's really funny. I don't even know your mom probably did it really well, but I don't even know if they were doing all the things all very well. But also, we didn't have so many other things to do. Like, there are so many things to do. I'm currently, like, before getting on this call with you, going back and forth, texting a doctor, and they're like, okay, well, that's not a that's, no, it's not an uncommon issue. You have to call around, you know, and do these things. And I'm like, that, people didn't have to do that. Back then you would go, and then it would happen. And maybe it took, they'd say, okay, in two days, it's gonna happen. But like, there was, like, things were slower, and now everything is so fast, and it takes time. And so I think, like, sitting down and getting really clear, like, really clear, like, what is the cost of keeping going with the thing that you don't want to be doing? So how do you exit? Like, what's the kind to just like, the worst place, how I'm really good at exiting is blowing it up. So we're better at that now, better at that now. Dr Corey Winn 11:37 You can turn it all to the ground (inaudible) yeah, you know, for me personally, on the one hand, I'm somebody who would love to just burn it all down. I mean, I'm like, let's go. We're doing this now. And the more fearful maybe, or the more practical version of me is like, oh, we still have bills to pay, and that's reality. You know, some people can burn it all to the ground, and the steps come and and there, and there's nothing wrong with that. What I work with my clients on is what feels good to you, because it doesn't matter what I did if it doesn't feel good in your soul to do it that way. It's not going to be successful. And my biggest goal is to help my clients trust themselves again, trust their process and do what works for them. Some of them, they're like, yep, burning it all to the ground, leaving tomorrow. We're done with that. Some of them are like, I want six months of savings in the bank before I totally pivot and go on this idea. Both are both are fine. Both are right. It's just what feels good to you.Lesley Logan 12:48 Yeah, I agree. Like in my youthful days when it was just rent to pay and no one on my payroll, I could burn it down. And, you know, as as I'm older, a little wiser, and also, like, I care about all the things that I do, I do think some sort of runway and roadmap and plan and based on, like, a value system, right? Like, having these are my values, and so if I follow my values in this change, like, how, how does that change align with those values? Because then it will feel good, you know? Because, like, it's one thing to just like pivot, and it's the other thing to like feel good while you're pivoting. You want to be like, oh, I let those people down. I mean, you still might, but as long as you, like, let them in on the journey, like, that could be the runway. Yeah, I get that. Lesley Logan 13:27 And I think it depends on, like, who it matters whether you let down, if that makes sense. Lesley Logan 13:33 Oh, okay. Dr Corey Winn 13:34 There are people in your life who you don't need permission from. And I don't mean permission, like, yes, you can do that. But like family members who don't believe in you, or friends who are like, oh, what are you doing? Their opinions don't matter. They're not paying your bills. You know, if the people in your life are on board and they're going for it, and they aren't always, I'm very, very lucky. My husband's always like, yes, where are we going? What are we doing? But surrounding yourself with a group of people, whether it's friends or their family, whether it's mentors and coaches who hold that vision for you, and are like, All right, let's go. We're doing it.Lesley Logan 14:11 Yeah, I know that's interesting. Like, I was just having coffee with a girlfriend. I'm like, it can be really difficult to like, I'm a boundaries queen. So like, it's not like, it's that, but like, it is still difficult. There's people who don't in your life who don't want to respect those boundaries, because they're like, this is how I want to operate, and this is how everyone should operate. And it can feel really hard to like, not let those people on the journey. Like, how do you, I don't know, what do you say? How have you coached people who have those family or friends that they're just not able to like, kick to the curb? You know, they don't, they don't, their opinions don't matter. They know that consciously, but also they're still kind of like, having the hard like, how do you put those people in? Like, I don't know. Can we put them in a closet? Like, what do we do?Dr Corey Winn 14:53 You know, honestly, this is a very difficult journey for me, because I have a very large family who has lots of opinions, and I just wanted to fit in. I don't personally have any siblings, so my immediate family is very small, but oh my gosh, cousins, aunts, uncles, everybody has an opinion about how it should go and how it should be. And it took me a very long time to really sit still and listen to my heart and say, Are these people along for the long haul? Are they here to support me, or are they questioning everything that I do, or judging or whatever? And it it was difficult. It was a grieving process to say I love you and I'm not going to allow you to bring me down anymore. And for me, it wasn't even like I had to have a heart to heart conversation. It was just like, I'm not going to allow that energy in my space anymore, but I had to get to a point where I was okay with that, because I I don't speak to a lot of family that doesn't hold those same values, and that was hard growing up with a huge family and cousins and family reunions and all the things, but I realized they're not going where I'm going, and that's okay. They're not bad people. I'm not a bad person. But it was a grieving process, for sure. And so I work with my clients on figuring out where their boundaries are, what works for them, and also letting them give themselves permission to say, I'm not going to have lunch anymore, or I'm not going to call this person when I'm having contrast, because they're not going to help me get out of it. Lesley Logan 16:33 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think lists, guys, I'm hearing a lot of lists, you know, especially until it becomes easier for for us. You know, I also think that, like it sounds like sometimes we need to surround ourselves with better people, maybe not better people, just the right people, I should say, because some people can be great and then the wrong people. What are your tips? Because I feel like a lot of women, especially high-achieving women, it's hard to sometimes have the time to go make friends or like, people who can be in their corner, like it can just feel like they end up doing everything for everybody at some point. So like, what is your best suggestion for that? Because you're gonna need people on your journey.Dr Corey Winn 17:13 Invest in yourself. That's the best thing I have ever done. Invest in a community of other women who are going places that you're going. That's how I met you. I met you through Jessica Papineau. And being around women who hold space for your dreams, who are like grabbing their bag and saying, all right, show me where, let's go, versus really you're gonna do that? Why? And I was actually at Brooke Hemingway's Align event back in January, and Justin, think it's Justin Shank said there's five people who you need to surround yourself with, a cheerleader, a bruiser, a mentor, a coach, and essentially, somebody who's going to always be there for you to have, you know, be your shoulder. And it really hit me, because you are the five people you surround yourself with. So like, I love my parents, but I don't want the same financial set point that they had, so I'm not going to go to them for business advice. That's okay. And I think having that clarity of, like, I'm going to go to this mentor for this thing, or I'm going to surround myself with this type of woman for this thing, and it doesn't have to always be in person. You know, there's a lot of virtual communities you can be a part of, and that was really where it started for me, because there's a lot of networking groups out there that maybe aren't the right room for you. And that's okay.Lesley Logan 18:36 I know, I know I feel like I get invited to a lot of rooms, and I'm always like, so knowing who I am and knowing what I do, I can't be in this room, because I'm gonna have all on the fixing all your stuff, your journey, I will just make like because I won't want to waste my time. And so it's like, I can't, you know, and it's hard, because sometimes I find like, the way I was raised, I kind of feel like I'm letting people down by, like, not taking their invitation. But also, it's like, I can't be in every room, and if the rooms aren't going to be the right place for me, or I feel like the little snake oily salespeople, you know, clicky. I don't like that stuff, so I am kind of allergic to but it takes time to figure out, like, oh, is this group the right group, you know? And then, like, being kind to yourself if you accidentally chose the wrong group because you thought it was the right group, you know?Dr Corey Winn 19:23 Right well. And I think there's something to be said. I think there's a lot of women wounding out there. I think there was a lot of fear for me to walk into rooms with other women of like, am I going to be accepted here? Am I going to be welcomed here? What's it going to be like? And giving yourself grace, like you said, to exit if you need to, or or relax, like I needed to do, and go, okay, this, this is a safe space.Lesley Logan 19:45 Yeah, I'm incredibly grateful that you can like block and bless. You know, it's like, I like, not everyone needs to know you left. I'm the queen of an Irish goodbye, especially when I found out that it was the kindest way to leave a space. It's like, it means that you're it's not about you when you leave, I'm like, I am more obsessed with an Irish goodbye than ever before, because I'm like, oh, it's not about this is not about me. So then you know that I left.Dr Corey Winn 20:08 Yeah, think about I think originally, I feel like I heard you kind of say you want to help everybody. You want to be part of everything. And then you really realize, like, okay, these are not my people. And once you get incredibly clear on who you work with, they flock to you versus, you know, the people who maybe aren't ready or aren't willing to invest in themselves, they exit themselves.Lesley Logan 20:28 Yeah, no, I think it's true. I think there's like people who they find you and they're they're like a magnet to you when you're really clear, because either they're totally ready or they aspire to be ready. And I think that those are the best ones to work with when you're there's, it's like a push versus a pull, right? Like, like, if you're constantly trying to be like, hey, I'm the person, this is the thing. Like, that's really push, you know, forward. That's hard, and it means you sometimes push wrong people into your spaces. But if you if you're a bit more clear, and you own that, and I think that that is one of the kindest things. Like, I had somebody asked me about inclusivity, and I'm a big fan of inclusivity. Of course, everyone should feel like they belong somewhere, but it might not be my space. But it is important for me to know what space, based on what I know about that person might be right for them, so that they find something like, you're a physical therapist specialize in neurological there's any people who come to you who just need, you know, hip stuff. It's like, of course, you're smart, you know how to do it. But like, Are you the best hip person? Probably, like, there's someone better, right? Right. Dr Corey Winn 21:28 Not anymore. Lesley Logan 21:29 Yeah. So, like, so it's like, you it's inclusive to, like, know those spaces and guide people on the other direction as well. I think, yeah. Dr Corey Winn 21:37 Absolutely. Lesley Logan 21:38 Yeah. So what do you what do you say to the person who's like, I get it, I get that I should invest in myself, but they have that, that time. Excuse, I don't have the time. You know, like you had kids and another job and a nonprofit. How do we give ourselves permission to find the time? Dr Corey Winn 21:56 I hope I can get permission from your audience to be incredibly blunt, because I'm going to be, you know, it's what you make time for. I mean, being a very, very radical, taking radical responsibility for your time. I mean, and I this past January, I was like, hmm, this, this time management quote process isn't working for me. It's not building me the way that I want to so taking responsibility for maybe burning your whole calendar down and starting over, but time isn't the real issue. So really getting underneath like, okay, it's not time. What is the real issue? Is it fear? Is it someone else's expectations? What's really behind it? Because time is just an excuse. We all make time for the things that are important to us.Lesley Logan 22:44 Right. It's true. Like, if we were like, you could say, oh, I can't do anything tomorrow. If I would say, oh, but it's I got a free shopping spree to, like, the your favorite store, you would fucking find the time. Like, it's a free shopping spree to your favorite store, you know? So we find, we find the time all the time. So, so it's really about making sure that you're, you're clear on what that is, because, and I get it, like, there are people who have families who need them, you know, for different reasons. You have an infant, you have a young toddler, you have somebody who has a neurological condition going on in their house, there's they're gonna need you. But also there's, there's still other time in your day. And like, how are you spending it? And they're the the phone is a great space that wants to suck all of our time. I find myself wasting time on it all the time. Oh, yeah, yeah. So, like, we can, there's time. And also you'd be surprised. Dr Corey Winn 23:33 You can be wasting time reading a book. Like, I love to read. I could sit for hours and read. Is that moving the needle forward anything that I do? It might be filling my cup, but it's not moving my business forward. So it's also recognizing it might not be doom scrolling social media, it might not be binge watching Netflix. It may be like, oh, I should probably read for 30 minutes rather than two hours.Lesley Logan 23:59 Right, right. So you're still filling your cup. But like, you know, how much are you and what, what does that space look like? I think you're totally right. Like, I think we, like, are like, oh, and I don't doom scroll, I know what this, I still have the time, right, but are you like, still organizing the kitchen, right?Dr Corey Winn 24:13 Or planning to plan to plan to make a plan.Lesley Logan 24:16 Yeah, exactly like, I have people who are like.Dr Corey Winn 24:20 I'm saying that from me. I'm not judging, I'm not pointing fingers. Like that was me, and I had to take radical responsibility for, like, okay, what do I want to waffle in this? Or do I want to move forward?Lesley Logan 24:32 Yeah, and I think that, like, first of all, everyone, like, we say these things in jest, because we spot it, we got it. Like, the reason we can call this out is because we did those things, you know, like, we find ways to I have too much email, so guess what? I found a system that means someone else reads my email. Someone else reads it. I read it's so rare that I respond to an email before it's read by somebody else. Because I'm not I don't go into my regular inbox. I usually go straight into this, like one inbox, where I'm responsible for responding at these things or looking at these things. And I'm telling you, what has given me is I check my email, like, once a week, probably dangerous, because sometimes it's like, my assistants, like you really do need to respond to this one. I'm like, oh, okay, but like, I check it once a week, because, like, it was so hard. I was like, I am stuck between Slack and our, you know, our system that tells me what, what jobs I have to do today, and the email and the text messages, like, I want to talk to my friends too. Like I can't do all the I can't check in all of the platforms all the time. So I check my email like once a week, and I check the Slacks like three days a week. Because honestly, if it's super, super important, someone else is going to call me and go, you have got to respond to this.Dr Corey Winn 25:37 Yes, yeah. We need your input here. Please answer.Lesley Logan 25:40 Yeah. And I think, like, look, if you're brand new at what you're doing and what you're getting into, there is some need to be a bit more available to be reached out, because you're new and you're building your stuff up. I am definitely, you know, my god, 15, 16, years into my coaching business, and, you know, almost 18 years into teaching, like, people will wait 48 hours for a response from me, you know, like, they will so, but I also know that, like, unless what you're doing is brain surgery, and I don't mean that, like, what you're doing is not important, but most things can wait 48 hours for a response. So you can still make time for things and block things out. And as an ADHD person, I thrive in systems. So like you just there, you just have to find the one that works for you. Dr Corey Winn 26:24 Oh, yeah. My calendar, I think would really scare most people, because it's so color-coded and it's so almost minute by minute. But for me, that has given me clarity to complete this task and move on to the next one. Because for somebody who was a physical therapist full time for so many years, a new patient comes in every 45 minutes. You have to have your note done all these things like it was so regimented. And stepping into the entrepreneurial world, you can work all day or none at all. So figuring out the system is important, but know that it can change. There's still no rigid blocks. It's no taking inventory of is this still working for me? Because what you did probably doesn't work, but just look at who Lesley Logan is today.Lesley Logan 27:11 Not at all. And thank God, there's so many new tools out there. Yeah, no, I think that's really important. And thanks for sharing that like it's so color-coded minute by minute. Because I do think some people think some people think that they're weird when it's like that, but I am someone who actually the same way. Like, if I I want to know how long something can take, so I can go, oh, I have time for that. But if it's like, we need this today, and it's like, well, how long will that take? Like, I have to go, is it a 15-minute project? Is it a 20-minute project? Like, you start to learn, like, how long things are, because everything takes the amount of time you give it. It really, really does. And you'd be surprised, like, how quickly some things can get done if you just, you just do it. I think the other thing we're saying, without saying, is like, you need to know yourself and get by the way, by the way, becoming an entrepreneur, entrepreneurial, you'll learn a lot about yourself.Dr Corey Winn 27:55 I would never have identified as somebody who has ADHD, and I'm not diagnosed, but things that bounce around in my head all day. My husband will look at me every so often. He's like, are you going to finish that sentence? Lesley Logan 28:07 No, you did in your head. You did it in your head? Yeah, no. The reality is, I don't think that. I don't know many entrepreneurs that could be neurotypical. I think it's just like a thing that we all find ourselves in because we're doers and our brain thinks so fast and and I had no idea. I thought my husband was the one with ADHD, and I got diagnosed this week that we're recording this, so who knows when y'all are hearing this, but, like, in, but I, like, two years before someone told me that I did that, she's like, oh, your classic case. And I'm like, what are you talking about? Like, I know. And I looked what women and ADHD look like, and I'm like, oh, my whole life I I just thought I was, this is what I told my psychiatrist. I said, well, I thought I was an Aquarius, and so that's why, I mean, I am an Aquarius, but like, I thought, because I'm an Aquarius, that's why I have a lot of things and that I have conversations in my head. And it's like, she laughed out loud, like audibly laughed out loud. She's like, well, you are an Aquarius, but you also have ADHD.Dr Corey Winn 29:06 I'm a Scorpio, but I totally identify with that. Lesley Logan 29:08 You, you have to like, the more you get to know yourself, and it makes it easier for you to figure out, what kind of systems do you need, what kind of team members do you need? Like, I am becoming increasingly aware that, like, I probably need more people on my team that are neurotypical, because I we all can't have ADHD. So I'm glad he has to get things done in a different way. But like, I think when it's coming and it I also think we have to, it's shocking how fast things happen when you take your time. You know what I mean? Like, if we we start to think I should probably it should go faster by now. But it's like, actually, if you take the time to know your values and know your clarity and understand what your fears are and understand what kind of systems you need, you'd be surprised how fast you go. Now, some of you will actually just stick in the in the learning about yourself and the planning to plan and plan to plan, like, like Corey said, but no, you'll learn that about yourself as well, and it really does help. All right, Corey, what are you most excited about right now?Dr Corey Winn 30:08 That's kind of a hard one. There's, like I said earlier, there's two different lanes. So I am launching, like a business building intensive for my community. So anybody who's like brand new entrepreneur just launching like you are my person. Let's get in. Let's sit for a day, either virtually or in person, if you're here in Colorado, and like, map it out, figure it out what systems you need, who you're doing. But then on the other side of that, we're getting to start early this year, but our annual gala for the foundation will be in October, so starting to talk to venues and reach out to people, because today is actually Colorado Disability Advocacy Day.Lesley Logan 30:49 Oh, so you guys just know it today, that day is we're recording, February 12th, so. Dr Corey Winn 30:54 That's true. It's February 12 here in Colorado. So you know there's things going on at the Capitol, there's things going on around town. So like you, I am fiercely protective of inclusive spaces and access and accessibility. So I will likely be doing some talks on that in the coming future to like position groups and whatnot. So lots of things brewing, just lots of excitement going on. Lesley Logan 31:19 I but of course. But you know, what's so funny is, like you say it's two lanes, but now that you brought up advocacy, I just think that, like, because of the work you've done in advocating for that special population you work with, it makes it so much easier for you to, like, tell women that you coach like how to advocate for themselves, like this. It's all the same thing. And if we by the way, if you don't, you don't have to be someone who, like, does talks in front of crowds about advocacy, like advocating for yourself is like, kind of an essential skill set, so that, not just so you can get your dreams to happen, but also so that you you feel seen, and you belong and and you get your needs met. Dr Corey Winn 31:54 Right. Well, and you talked earlier, just about talking to the doctor, you know, I am fiercely protective of women because of the amount of times I've been dismissed at the doctor's office by women physicians. So, you know, being in spaces where I can help other women recognize there's a different room for you and that's okay, or if the door is shut here, there's one open over here, you know, and I do think inherently that is my, my passion is helping people reach their full potential. It's not just women. Yeah.Lesley Logan 32:28 Well, because if the women you help are reaching their full potential, it's a there's like a bubble of influence that happens. So I agree, I agree, and I think that's so it's so key. Oh my gosh. Well, I mean, we could talk for another bit on all of this stuff, but we're gonna take a brief break and then find out how people can find you, follow you and work with you and your Be It Action Items. Lesley Logan 32:48 All right, Corey, where do you hang out? Where do you teach these amazing women to get clarity and advocate for themselves? Where is all where's your fun places to be.Dr Corey Winn 32:57 I love it. Thank you so much. So I'm on Instagram @coreywinndpt, I'm on LinkedIn @coreywinn and if you head to Her Quantum Rise, you can see all the different ways you can work with me, reach out, schedule a free call. I'm happy to just jump on the phone and figure out what you need and how I can help.Lesley Logan 33:17 Perfect. I love that. That's so nice, so nice when people are like, Hey, I'm open and I'm ready. And I think that sometimes people need to know if it's right space for them. You've given us a lot of stuff. So if it but feel free to repeat yourself. But, Be It Action Items, bold, executable, intrinsic or target steps people can take it to be till they see it, what do you have for us? Dr Corey Winn 33:35 Every morning, I want you to look at your calendar and make sure there's something on it that brings you joy. It doesn't matter whether it's five minutes, like Fridays, I typically try and take off and have a whole self-care day. And that doesn't necessarily always mean like bubble bath and other things, but something in your calendar every single day that brings you joy because it allows your productivity to improve. It fills your cup, and it may take a little bit of time to figure out what that is. So give yourself grace.Lesley Logan 34:07 I love that I'm obsessed with morning I really like, I really am and I am also someone who like, if, if I sleep in and my morning routine gets shortened, I'm like, I love it when it's like, I love a three full hour luxurious like getting into my day, but like finding I love that also finding something that brings you joy. So many of us, sometimes there's things on the counter that used to and we like lost our way, so I think that's beautiful. And if you don't have something, that you have to find something. And that's cool. I love this, Lesley Logan 34:34 Corey, you're so amazing. This is so fun. Thank you for being you and y'all how are you going to use these tips in your life? Make sure you tell Corey, tell the Be It Pod, and then share this with a friend who needs to hear it. Because, you know, especially if you're like, oh, I want to do this, and my this person wants to do it, you guys can do the journey together. You can be on it together, and and, and support each other, and, and then you'll, you know, we all like you have the person's five groups. I really think.

This week Rachel and Lynne are responding to a question from listener Stephanie about how to make time to work on your freelance business. It's a bit of a choose-your-own adventure because we have such different work styles and systems. Rachel uses a mix of a bespoke paper diary (Creator's Friend), Outlook, Google Keep, batching, and Friday "work on the business" time, plus automations in Moxie (forms, pipelines, calendar booking windows, templated replies, and auto-created Google Drive folders). Lynne has a paper-free setup using Trello, an electronic calendar, "salami tactics" (small daily actions), Marketing Monday, Mail scheduling/follow-ups/reminders, and industry events for networking. We also discuss invoicing habits, accounting software, setting aside GST/tax/super, and recommend choosing regular business time, one in-person event monthly, and automating two tasks per month.

Folks, we are just gutted that we haven't been able to get to you lately. Heck, I'm posting this as my family is trying to get out the door to head to the beach. THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH TIME, but for Philly sports action, we will MAKE TIME.We are BACK with the reality of both the SIXERS and the FLYERS making it to the second round of the playoffs. Delco's own HUN joins us to tell of his magical game 6 experience vs the Celtics at the X Mob. We came back in improbable fashion to bury Boston, but as we've seen, the Knicks are a different entity. Down 3-0, desperation time.LITERALLY in the same situation, we even live look in at the Flyers (Zegras SCORES), but then there was very little to celebrate after that. ALSO down 3-0 against a dominant Carolina squad, coached by a legendary Flyer...it's just, too on the nose. So we much punch the Canes in the nose if we have a hope to dig out of this hole. AGAIN an elimination game (TONIGHT) in South Philly. The X Mob is vibing, but let's get a win in each matchup eh?Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.comIG: @hoagiemouthpod

Discovering Grayslake: Unveiling the Stories and People That Make Our Town Unique
Trent and Lori Tobias, owners of the 15 Commerce Drive shopping center. The couple shares their journey from careers in car dealership and education to building a thriving community hub. Their crown jewel, Great Lakes Antique Boutique, features over 600 vendors across two locations, bringing a Galena-inspired charm right to Grayslake. The center also houses restaurants, salons, an escape room, and "The Room," a versatile event space. With plenty of parking and something for everyone, this neighborhood gem is truly worth discovering! Discovering Grayslake: How Local Businesses Build Community and Create Hidden Gems Welcome back to the heart of Lake County! In this episode of Discovering Grayslake, we sat down with Trent and Lori Tobias, the dynamic husband-and-wife team behind the thriving shopping center at 15 Commerce Drive. Their story is more than just a tale of entrepreneurship—it's a masterclass in community building, creative business management, and the power of local connections. Whether you're a Grayslake resident, a small business owner, or someone dreaming of launching your own venture, this in-depth guide will break down the key lessons and actionable tips from the episode. We'll explore how Trent and Lori transformed a half-empty plaza into a bustling hub, the secrets behind their wildly successful Great Lakes Antique Boutique, and how they've created spaces that bring people together. Table of Contents The Power of Local Connections Revitalizing a Community Space: Lessons from 15 Commerce Drive Building a Unique Retail Experience: Inside Great Lakes Antique Boutique Creating Versatile Community Spaces: The Room Vendor Management and Growth Strategies Seasonal Merchandising and Store Staging Balancing Passion, Family, and Business Actionable Takeaways for Local Entrepreneurs Final Thoughts: Kindness and Community The Power of Local Connections Main Theme: At the heart of Trent and Lori's story is the idea that local businesses are more than just places to shop—they're the backbone of a community. Their journey began with a simple desire to bring the charm of Galena's antique scene closer to home, and it blossomed into a network of businesses that serve, connect, and uplift Grayslake. Key Insights: Word-of-mouth and personal relationships** are invaluable. Trent and Lori's businesses grew rapidly because they fostered genuine connections with vendors, customers, and other local entrepreneurs. Community involvement**—from hosting events to collaborating with neighboring businesses—creates a sense of belonging and loyalty. Actionable Advice: Get to know your neighbors.** Attend local events, introduce yourself to other business owners, and look for ways to collaborate. Be visible and approachable.** Trent and Lori are often present in their stores, greeting customers and making everyone feel welcome. Revitalizing a Community Space When Trent and Lori purchased the shopping center at 15 Commerce Drive, it was only about 45-50% occupied. Their approach to revitalizing the property offers a blueprint for anyone looking to breathe new life into a commercial space. Steps to Revitalization Invest in Infrastructure Rehab and Renovate: They invested in updating the units, making them attractive to potential tenants. Parking Matters: A new, well-lit, and convenient parking lot was a game-changer, especially in a small town where parking is often limited. Curate Your Tenant Mix Community-Focused Tenants: They sought out businesses that would benefit the community—restaurants, salons, a dance studio, a chiropractic office, and more. Synergy Between Tenants: The proximity of The Room event space, the escape room, and restaurants allows for seamless event planning and cross-promotion. Create Gathering Spaces The Room: A 1,700 sq. ft. facility for micro-weddings, parties, concerts, and more. This space is designed to be flexible and accessible for all kinds of community events. Expert Tip: When revitalizing a property, think beyond just filling vacancies. Ask yourself: How can this space serve the community? Look for tenants and amenities that complement each other and create a destination, not just a collection of businesses. Building a Unique Retail Experience: Inside Great Lakes Antique Boutique Great Lakes Antique Boutique isn't your average antique store. With over 600 vendors across two locations (Grayslake and Antioch), it's a treasure trove that draws shoppers from all over. What Sets It Apart? Sheer Scale and Variety:** The boutique is deceptively large, with endless nooks and crannies. Customers often spend hours exploring and still find new surprises on a second lap. Constantly Changing Inventory:** The store is staged and restocked for every season and holiday, ensuring there's always something new to discover. Personal Touch:** Lori's passion for curating unique clothing and décor shines through. She travels to shows and markets across the country to find one-of-a-kind items. Actionable Tips for Retailers Create a Journey:** Encourage customers to walk the store in both directions—you'll double their discoveries and time spent in-store. Make It Personal:** Share stories behind your products. Lori loves hearing customers' memories and connections to the items they find. Offer Something for Everyone:** From "bougie" upscale finds in Grayslake to farm antiques and a "man cave" in Antioch, the boutiques cater to a wide range of tastes. Creating Versatile Community Spaces: The Room One of the standout features of the shopping center is The Room—a flexible event space that fills a crucial need in Grayslake. Features and Uses Size:** 1,700 sq. ft., seating up to 75 people. Amenities:** Chairs, stage, sound system, and adaptable layout. Events:** Micro-weddings, birthday parties, comedy nights, concerts, art shows, and corporate meetings. Why It Works Convenience:** The Room is adjacent to restaurants and an escape room, making it easy to plan multi-part events (e.g., a birthday party with food and entertainment all in one place). Community Focus:** The space is designed for locals to gather, celebrate, and connect. Pro Tip: If you're considering adding an event space to your business, think about how it can complement your existing tenants and serve unmet needs in your community. Vendor Management and Growth Strategies Managing over 600 vendors is no small feat. Trent and Lori's approach offers valuable lessons for anyone running a multi-vendor retail operation. Key Strategies Start Small, Scale Fast:** Their first location filled up within days, and they quickly expanded to additional buildings and locations. Maintain a Waiting List:** Demand for booth space remains high, ensuring a steady pipeline of new vendors and fresh inventory. Vendor Diversity:** By offering spaces for everything from antiques to new clothing, they attract a broad spectrum of sellers and shoppers. Actionable Advice Foster a Vendor Community:** Regular communication, collaborative events, and a supportive environment keep vendors engaged and invested in the store's success. Rotate and Refresh:** Encourage vendors to update their booths regularly to keep the store dynamic and exciting. Seasonal Merchandising and Store Staging One of the boutique's biggest draws is its ever-changing look and feel. Lori and her team spend weeks preparing for each season and holiday, transforming the store into a new experience every time. Best Practices Plan Ahead:** Start staging for major holidays and events well in advance. Team Effort:** Involve staff and vendors in the process to bring fresh ideas and energy. Create Visual Impact:** Use creative displays, themed décor, and strategic product placement to draw customers in and inspire purchases. Why It Matters Repeat Visits:** Customers return again and again to see what's new, driving loyalty and word-of-mouth. Emotional Connection:** Seasonal themes tap into nostalgia and celebration, making shopping a memorable experience. Balancing Passion, Family, and Business Trent and Lori's story is also about finding joy and balance in work and life. After long careers in education and the car business, they built a new chapter together—one that combines their love of antiques, travel, and community. Lessons Learned Follow Your Interests:** Lori's passion for clothing and antiques led to a business that never feels like "just a job." Work as a Team:** Trent handles the behind-the-scenes fixes and logistics, while Lori curates and connects with customers. Make Time for Each Other:** Even during their busiest years, they made Sundays their day for antiquing and reconnecting. Advice for Couples in Business Divide and Conquer:** Play to each other's strengths and communicate openly about roles and responsibilities. Celebrate Small Wins:** Take time to enjoy the journey and the community you're building together. Actionable Takeaways for Local Entrepreneurs Whether you're running a boutique, managing a shopping center, or dreaming of starting your own business, here are the top lessons from Trent and Lori's journey: Invest in Your Space:** Clean, well-lit, and accessible facilities attract both tenants and customers. Curate for Community:** Choose tenants and offerings that serve local needs and create synergy. Keep It Fresh:** Regularly

In this episode of the Habits of High Performers Podcast, I sit down with Christine Li, procrastination coach and psychologist, to explore why procrastination is far more than just putting things off. We unpack the real cost of delay, how it disconnects us from the present moment, and why it often pulls us away from the path that matters most. We dive into the emotional roots of procrastination, the role fear and anxiety play in keeping us stuck, and how to recognise when we are quietly moving in the opposite direction of what we truly want. Christine also shares her powerful idea of the “main path” and how fun, expansion, and presence can help us know whether we are heading in the right direction.Christine breaks down her simple but practical SMACK framework for overcoming procrastination through simplicity, mindfulness, anxiety reduction, communication, and kindness to self. We also explore flow, habits, morning routines, clutter, self trust, and how to build a life that feels calmer, clearer, and more aligned.Learn more about Dr. Christine here - https://www.procrastinationcoach.comConnect with Dr. Christine on IG here - https://www.instagram.com/procrastinationcoach/Listen to the Make Time for Success podcast here - https://www.maketimeforsuccesspodcast.comClutter free resource - maketimeforsuccesspodcast.com/clutter If you're interested in having me deliver a keynote or workshop for your team contact Caroline at caroline@jjlaughlin.comWebsite: https://www.jjlaughlin.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6GETJbxpgulYcYc6QAKLHA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JamesLaughlinOfficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jameslaughlinofficial/ Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/life-on-purpose-with-james-laughlin/id1547874035 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3WBElxcvhCHtJWBac3nOlF?si=hotcGzHVRACeAx4GvybVOQ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jameslaughlincoaching/James Laughlin is a High Performance Leadership Coach, Former 7-Time World Champion, Host of the Lead On Purpose Podcast and an Executive Coach to high performers and leaders.

As I continue to explore the intersection of creativity and life's daily demands, I can't help but reflect on a lesson that keeps coming back to me: creativity isn't a luxury; it's essential. In my recent conversation with Sarah Welch, we dove into how creativity helps us reconnect with who we truly are outside of the roles we cater to for others—whether it be as a parent, partner, or professional. For me, it's about learning to lean into small chunks of time, asking for support where necessary, and, most importantly, remembering that every act of creation—regardless of its form—is a step back to my core self. Let's talk about this journey. What creative practice surprises you, and how can you start integrating it into your life today? Preorder Sticky Habits book today!

How do we reclaim our creative identity? You may not realize that you have one, but you do. Discover how to embrace your creative identity and why it's essential for your well-being. This post is for anyone seeking to reconnect with their artistic side. In a world where hustle culture often prevails, many of us may feel disconnected from our creative selves. You might think that creativity is reserved for artists, but the truth is that everyone has a unique creative identity waiting to be reclaimed. In this post, we will explore why creativity matters, the barriers that keep us from embracing it, and how you can reconnect with your inner artist. Understanding the Importance of Creativity Creativity is not just a luxury; it's a fundamental aspect of our human design. The Life Force of Creativity - Creativity acts as a life force, essential for our mental and emotional health. Overcoming Barriers to Creativity Despite the intrinsic connection we all have to creativity, various barriers can prevent us from fully embracing it. The Impact of Hustle Culture - Hustle culture promotes the idea that creativity is a luxury we cannot afford. As we chase accomplishments and acquisitions, we may begin to view creative pursuits as optional extras rather than integral parts of our lives. The Dangers of Comparison Another barrier to embracing our creativity is the tendency to compare ourselves to others. - When we start to mute our creativity to fit in with societal standards or expectations, we lose the very essence of what makes us unique. This can lead to a sense of despair and dissatisfaction that permeates our lives. Reconnecting with Your Creative Self Reclaiming your creative identity is not just a personal journey; it's a vital step toward holistic well-being. Here are some actionable steps to help you reconnect with your creativity: 1. Acknowledge Your Creative Identity 2. Make Time for Creative Exploration 3. Cultivate a Supportive Environment Creativity is not just for artists; it is a vital part of being human. Key Takeaways - Everyone has a creative identity waiting to be reclaimed. - Creativity is essential for mental and emotional health. - Overcoming hustle culture and comparison are vital to embracing your creativity. - Taking actionable steps to nurture creativity can lead to a more fulfilling life.

I've often heard from Progressors who question how to prioritize personal time amidst a bustling life. Practically speaking, the steps to prioritize yourself include putting your interests on the calendar, seeking support, and ensuring accountability. Rewarding yourself afterward and starting small makes this process more enjoyable and manageable. When using your Do Something List (DSL), keep it visible, adjust it as needed, and don't hesitate to reach out for a bit of accountability from others. I've found that sharing my progress openly encourages consistency. So, to all Progressors out there, place just one thing on your calendar this month and witness how this small step can lead to valuable growth. Get the free DSL Training.

As a mother, especially as a homeschooling mom, reading is one of the most important habits you should form. Why should you make the time when you have so many other things to do? Reading broadens your horizons, enhances your concentration, enables you to view the world from other perspectives, enriches your knowledge, refines your thinking, and strengthens your intellectual abilities. And if those reasons aren't enough, your children learn to value this habit through your example. In this week's episode, Carrie talks with Katie Klein, book-lover, homeschool mom, curriculum creator, and founder of Little House Learning Company, about the importance of making personal reading a life-long habit. Not only do they share tips on how to make time for reading, but they share some of their favorite books and authors. You don't have to read one hundred books a year to be a "reader." You don't have to read what's popular, and you don't have to stick to one genre. Making time for personal reading will change you! Pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up, and join Carrie and Katie for a little coffee and conversation about books!**Be patient.

The other day, Kate and I were talking about the reasons why we like working on staff versus freelancing. Candidly, Kate told me that being on staff can sometimes feel easier (don't worry, I asked her if I could share this conversation with you!). And, hey, some seasons in our lives we just need ease in certain areas. We want to put our feet up for a sec and breathe. Of course, we're still producing top-notch work. Working on staff just has a different set of challenges than freelancing. But one of the things we talked about was how ease can disguise itself as security. And so, that's where we started this conversation of this week's Build Your Copywriting Business podcast episode. Take a listen and let me know if this helps you bring more intention to the decisions you're making in your business. --------------- Mentioned in the Episode You're Most Secure When You Take Control Ep. 49: How to Build Your Own Benefits as a Freelancer How to Make Time for Freelance Work Ep. 195: Freelance vs. Contract: Which is Better?

If I were to ask you if your life ever felt tranquil, you would probably do one of two things: bust out laughing or look at me like I was from another planet.I get it, I really do. Which is why I'm so excited to have the author of one of my absolute tippy-top recommended books with me today. Laura Vanderkam is a time management expert, mother of five, and the author of Tranquility by Tuesday: 9 Ways to Calm the Chaos and Make Time for What Matters. Laura suggests that to bring more tranquility to our abundant, unpredictable lives, we don't need a perfect schedule, what we need is a resilient schedule. In the book, she outlines nine ways that will help us manage the chaos and live joyful, sustainable lives. It sounds much more accessible, right? Today, we're going to talk about how we can actually achieve tranquility in our lives, even in the busiest phases of our lives.In this episode, you'll hear: How to reframe the way you think about how much time you have (hint: it might be more than you think!)
